With the publication of the new software update, owners of older devices should also be able to use several practical innovations and improvements.
• Update of the operating system iOS 18.5
• New functions and improvements
• Users of the iPhone 13 receive a special gift
The new update
The new update is to be released in the 20th calendar week, i.e. in the week of May 12, 2025. These assumptions were confirmed by the Tech Group Apple. It is available for all models from the iPhone XR and XS up to the iPhone 16 series. This will be one of the last innovations in the operating system of the XR/XS models, because these should no longer be compatible with the early iOS 19 update and, accordingly, only receive security updates, as T3N.de reports.
Improvements and errors
While the improvements contain some new functions, well -known problems have also been addressed. For example, a black screen could be displayed on the Apple Vision Pro app. This should no longer be possible in the future. Apple has also added to child protection: In the future, legal guardians will receive a message if the screen time code is used on the child’s device.
According to Macrumors, all iPhones are to be equipped with a pride harmony wallpaper thanks to the update. This optional background is intended to offer users the opportunity to celebrate the Pride Month in June 2025. The mail app should also receive some changes. In this way, users should turn or hide profile images of their contacts directly in the app without having to access the settings. There is also the option to deactivate the view “group after sender”, which increases the clarity in the inbox. Another improvement can be found in the Apple TV app. In this way, content in the Apple TV app should be paid directly on third-party devices with the iPhone in order to facilitate the purchase process. According to the Apple Insider, an area called “AppleCare & Guarantee” will soon be found in the settings of the devices, which information about information about the insurance of the devices and shows links to the manufacturer’s website.
Gift for iPhone 13-users
So far, support for satellite services has only existed for all models of the iPhone 14, 15 and 16. With the new update, it should also be possible to use satellite functions with the mobile phone provider – if compatible with the mobile phone provider. According to Apple, rescue services can be contacted via SMS with the help of satellite functions, breakdown aids are requested, friends and family members notify and their own location is shared without active mobile radio or WLAN coverage.
installation
The new operating system is installed in the usual way: In the settings of the device you can find the “General” tab “Software update”. The latest, available updates are always found there. However, Apple points out that not all functions are available in all regions or on all devices.
